MAE ALL...

Into work this morning and one of the childcare staff asked for some time to go over procedures for childcare. After that was done I couldn't wrap my head around working on the new software so I came home. LOL

Mick...just read your post without taking a breath. Barely made it through. Good thing I didn't bash in the monitor because when I went into work yesterday the answer came to me. LOL Aren't you lucky, the minute it quits raining you get to cut grass twice!! Hope Julie's dad is doing ok. Your comment about the deformed chicken made me think of this



Lav...we're at 89F today and still under the heat warning. I'm grateful I have A/C. How long will it take for the chicks to arrive? I'm trying to remember, is it frozen watermelon that you make for a treat? We could all probably use some.

Pauly...I just don't know how you survive in that heat. Could that have something to do with your lack of sleep? Good plan on not making deliveries and just getting yours. It's hamburgers for supper tonight.

Det...I think you have way too much on your plate right now to learn bridge. There's some basic rules and then you can get into all kinds of conventions. I play what we call "kitchen" bridge using the basic rules and having fun. Of course learning to score is a whole other issue. Some people never do try to figure it out. LOL A fashion shoot...big change from shooting empty houses. It must have been fun if the heat didn't bother you.

Going to go find something in the fridge for my lunch. Have a great day all....PPQP

Greetings Abbers,

Because I was still lying awake at 1:30 am I heard a text message come in on my phone. When i looked at it this morning it was a message from my traveling chicks - they had just checked into the PO in St. Paul, MN, haha!!! I imagine they will be here in the morning & I am ready

Pauly, it is the moon keeping us awake & there’s just nothing we can do. I change my sleep supplements from time to time but nothing ever helps with teh moon phases. We’re screwed, LOL

Mick, glad to hear ypu finally have a dry day to get caught up with the lawn work. Things are actually pretty dry here so we could use a bit of rain.....just a bit.
Our news is reporting the bar scenes are responsible for the current uptick in Covid cases. Damn good thing we don’t go to bars, right? If the 20 & 30 year olds wantto fill hospital beds they’re foolish!

Det, several years ago I found an online source for garlic bulbs to grow. Can’t remember the name of it at the moment but that’s where i found the Greman garlic. It’s good & doesn’t create the heartburn that white garlic does. Crazy huh? Good luck with your photoshoots. Don’t teh models sweat in all that heat??? I sure would, Lol

PQ, sorry you’re getting our weather but I’m telling ya we’re sick of it!!!
I imagine the chicks will be here Thursday morning. The big girls are enjoying watermelon refrigerated or frozen, they;re not fussy

Greetings to PIe, Sam & Cyn!

Have a nice night all!
Lav

[paulywogg]

Mae everybody, Hi NS! I think I've been here 8 years too, reeled in by Mick's jokes haha Det and Lav what are your sleep supps? Out of curiosity?, Was gonna take the day off today but ahh the guilt! I'll probably just go and see if there's any deliveries for me on that area, hope everyone has a great BF Thursday, much love to all!

[NoSugar]

Wow, I thought this thread had ended and many of you had left MWO long ago. When I sign on, I always see the new posts since I last signed on and yesterday was the first time in months I saw this one. I'm so glad to see you guys are still here!

I let my paid subscription lapse several months ago and just renewed it yesterday. I wonder if that somehow is related ???

[Mick]

hello to everyone else hope you are all well

My identical twin likes to pretend I'm him.

My missus caught me with a blow up doll.

"Huh, " she said, "another partner your going to let down. "

I noticed my car was low on fuel.

As I was filling up my wife said "You really need to get this anxiety sorted out - It's only a trip to the petrol station"

A poster declaring 'I love JK Rowling' has been taken down at Edinburgh Station due to it's political nature.
It has been relocated at Kings Cross Station on platform 9 3/4.

With the Washington Redskins American football team and The Exeter Chiefs Rugby Union team having to change their names because of Political correctness, what the the New Zealand All Blacks Rugby Union Team going to change their name to?

Arnold and his wife were cleaning out the attic one day when he came across a ticket from the local shoe repair shop. The date stamped on the ticket showed that it was over eleven years old.

They both laughed and tried to remember which of them might have forgotten to pick up a pair of shoes over a decade ago.

"Do you think the shoes will still be in the shop" Arnold asked?

"Not very likely", his wife said." It's worth a try", Arnold said, pocketing the ticket. He went downstairs, hopped into the car, and drove to the store.With a straight face, he handed the ticket to the man behind the counter.

With a face just as straight, the man said, "Just a minute. I'll have to look for these." He disappeared into a dark corner at the back of the shop. Two minutes later, the man called out, "Here they are"!

"No kidding?" Arnold called back. "That's terrific! Who would have thought they'd still be here after all this time".

The man came back to the counter, empty-handed. "They'll be ready Thursday", he said calmly.

"Johnny, where's your homework"? Miss Martin said sternly to the little boy while holding out her hand.

"My dog ate it", was his solemn response.

"Johnny, I've been a teacher for eighteen years. Do you really expect me to believe that"?

"It's true, Miss Martin, I swear", insisted Johnny.

"I had to force him, but he ate it"!

Wake up in a happy mooo-d.

Don't cry over spilled milk.

When chewing your cud, remember, there is no fat, no calories, no cholesterol and no taste!

The grass is greener on the other side of the fence.

Turn the udder cheek and mooo-ve on.

Seize every opportunity and milk it for all it's worth!

It's better to be seen and not herd.

Honour thy fodder and thy mother and all your udder relatives.

Never take any bull from anybody.

Always let them know who's bossy!

his 90 year old grandfather in a very secluded, rural area of the state. After spending the night, his grandfather prepared breakfast for him consisting of eggs and bacon. He noticed a film-like substance on his plate and he questioned his grandfather. "Are these plates clean"?

His grandfather replied...."those plates are as clean as cold water can get them so go on and finish your meal".

That afternoon, while eating the hamburgers his grandfather made for lunch, he noticed tiny specks around the edge of his plate, and a substance that looked like dried egg yokes. So he asked again, "Are you sure these plates are clean"?

Without looking up from his hamburger, the grandfather says, "I told you before, those dishes are as clean as cold water can get them, now don't ask me about it anymore"!

Later that afternoon, as he was on his way out to get the paper, the dog started to growl and would not let him pass. "Grandfather, your dog won't let me out", he complained.

Without diverting his attention from the football game, his Grandfather shouted, "Coldwater, move"!

It seems that God received a delegation of animals complaining of their lot in life.

There was an elephant, a giraffe, and a hen.

The elephant complained, "Lord, I HATE THIS TRUNK YOU have given me. It gets in the way, and makes me look like a fool"!

The Lord said, "Don't complain. It lets you pick up food, drink water, etc. without getting wet"!

Next the giraffe complained, "Lord, I HATE THIS LONG NECK! It makes me top heavy, I get terrible neck pains, and people laugh at me"!

The Lord said, "Don't complain. It lets you pick the best fruit and leaves from the high branches, and allows you to see a distance".

The hen spoke up, "Lord, I don't want to complain..... but either let me have a bigger ass or smaller eggs".

I met this bloke with a didgeridoo and he was playing Dancing Queen on it. I thought, 'That's Aboriginal.'


This lorry full of tortoises collided with a van full of terrapins. It was a turtle disaster.


I told my girlfriend I had a job in a bowling alley. She said 'Tenpin?' I said, 'No, permanent.'


I went in to a pet shop. I said, 'Can I buy a goldfish?' The guy said, 'Do you want an aquarium?' I said, 'I don't care what star sign it is.'


I bought some Armageddon cheese today, and it said on the packet. 'Best before End'


I went to buy a watch, and the man in the shop said 'Analogue.' I said 'No, just a watch.'


I went into a shop and I said, 'Can someone sell me a kettle.' The bloke said 'Kenwood' I said, 'Where is he then?'


My mate is in love with two schoolbags. He's bi-satchel.


I went to the doctor. I said to him 'I'm frightened of lapels.' He said, 'You've got cholera.'


I met the bloke who invented crosswords today. I can't remember his name, its P something T something R.


I was reading this book today, The History of Glue. I couldn't put it down.


I phoned the local ramblers club today, but the bloke who answered just went on and on.


The recruitment consultant asked me 'What do you think of voluntary work? I said 'I wouldn't do it if you paid me.'


I was in the jungle and there was this monkey with a tin opener. I said, 'You don't need a tin opener to peel a banana.' He said, 'No, this is for the custard.'


This policeman came up to me with a pencil and a piece of very thin paper. He said, 'I want you to trace someone for me.'


I told my mum that I'd opened a theatre. She said, 'Are you having me on?' I said, 'Well I'll give you an audition, but I'm not promising you anything.'


I phoned the local builders today, I said to them 'Can I have a skip outside my house?' He said, 'I'm not stopping you!'


This cowboy walks in to a German car showroom and he says 'Audi!'


I fancied a game of darts with my mate. He said, 'Nearest the bull goes first' He went 'Baah' and I went 'Moo' He said 'You're closest'


I was driving up the motorway and my boss phoned me and he told me I'd been promoted. I was so shocked I swerved the car. He phoned me again to say I'd been promoted even higher and I swerved again. He then made me managing director and I went right off into a tree. The police came and asked me what had happened.. I said 'I careered off the road'


I visited the offices of the RSPCA today. It's tiny: you couldn't swing a cat in there.

Greetings all,

My new chicks are here & look happy. They’ve been stuffing themselves & slugging down the electrolyte water called Quik-Chick all day, haha!!!
The hatchery always adds an extra ‘mystery’ chick so you have to wait until they grow a bit to figure out the breed. It’s always exciting driving home from the PO listening to the peeps of 16 chicks
Other than that, nothing new, still too hot & yucky here. That all may change as there’s a possible hurricane brewing up, we shall see.

NS, good to see you here! Truly this thread has been around even longer than me, Lol
Stick around with us, we’re just fabulous!!

Pauly, I switch around between Alteril, Melodyn & toss in Benadryl most times because my allergies are so ridiculous. Between the heat & my own hot flashes sleeping in the summer months just doesn’t happen even though my house is cooled down to 68 degrees. No caffeine involved (only have half-caf in the morning). When the darkness of winter & the cold temps Get here my hot flashes subside so the supplements help EXCEPT when the moon is getting close to being full. In other words, I’ve given up worrying about sleep after all these years, haha!!

Mick, I’m sure glad the chicks made it here faster than your computer, geez. That’s a pretty long trip from Iowa to my location in PA.
I don’t know how anyone can actually sleep right now with all the BS going on in the world, sad.

Hello PQ & Det, hope your day was good!
Hello to Pie, Sam & Cyn!

Have a nice night all!
Lav

[Determinator]

Ahoy hoy ABeroooos!

PPQ, awesome wacky video yeah I'll wait to pick up anymore hobbies... zooming like a madman here.
Have another darned twilight shoot tomorrow night. arg! at least it's going to be pretty quick/easy. I hope!
New software...agh! I'm knee-deep in it myself.

Lav, I'll have to look for garlic maybe on Amazon? they seem to have everything.

114F today in Vegas. booooooo! booooooooooo! a-hem....

NoSugar! haven't seen you in yonks. How have you been? what's new?

Pauly, my super knockout formula is a combo of:
1 Unisom
1 or 2 L-Theanine
10mg of melatonin
1 CBD gummy

Mick, any train work on the books?

Lav, a mystery chick... cute idea.

My fashion shoot was a huge hit and she's totally stoked. whew! you never know
poor thing about had a heat stroke so we popped back into the casino every 15m or so.
Some darn impressive makeup as it wasn't running at all.

Ok, a bit more marketing study and I'm off to a Refuge meeting.

be well loves!

[paulywogg]

Mae everybody, Det glad your shoot went well poor thing to hafta be all made up in the heat, that's why I'm liking the make cuz I just do my eye makeup and I'm good to go haha! Lav, yea I think it was moon related cuz it seems better now, although I should knock on wood cuz that's just how it is, watched DT's fill in yesterday and even tho he just had someone close to his campaign or whatever die from covid he still downplays it, tbh I kind of liked the downplay just to get through and not run around freaked out but it just seems like it's unstoppable and it scares me, I'm also wondering why we can't just vote online? It's done in a computer at the place anyways, after having Kells dogs for a couple of days I want a puppy again, yet I'm reluctant to take on the responsibility, Spencer was everywhere and alot to keep up with, I still put some things up high cuz I'm used to him chewing everything up, PQ, I'm making turkey and cheese sliders on Hawaiian rolls, cheap, easy and good! Made turkey burgers last night and almost barfed, hubs too so no more alternative meats for us! Much love to the gang and wishes for a great BF Fryday for us all!!
